Cross Canadian Ragweed established itself as a relentless touring band throughout the Texas/Oklahoma area and then broadened its reach, nationally releasing several albums of rabble-rousing alt-country. Formed in 1994 in Stillwater, OK, the band took its name from those of its members: frontman and lead guitarist Cody Canada, drummer Randy Ragsdale, rhythm guitarist Grady Cross, and bassist Jeremy Plato. Though the band toured heavily from its inception, establishing a particularly strong fan base in Texas, it didn't release its first album until 2001 when Underground Sounds released Highway 377. Two more releases for the label followed, Live and Loud at the Wormy Dog (2001) and Carney (2002), before the band moved to Smith Music Group for Live and Loud at Billy Bob's Texas (2002). In 2004 the group signed to Universal South and released Soul Gravy, followed by Garage in October of 2005.

Nov 17, 2009: Dc Film Society -- “coming Attractions Trailer Night” at Landmark's E Street Cinema

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:28:38 -0700

HOLLYWOOD MAKING ITS LIST AND CHECKING IT TWICE:
PREVIEW THE HOLIDAY BLOCKBUSTER SEASON AT
“COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT”
DC FILM SOCIETY

George Clooney, Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr., Jim Carrey and George Clooney (yes, he’s starring in multiple flicks this season) -- blockbuster stars in classic tales and George Clooney in just about anything --are the themes for this holiday film season. You can get a preview of what’s coming your way by making your way to the Washington D.C. Film Society’s “COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT” for Winter 2009.

D.C. Film Society has set the date for Tuesday, November 17, the time for 7pm, the price $8 and the place at Landmark’s E Street Cinema. (E Street between 10th & 11th St., N.W.) Hosts and film critics, Joe Barber and Bill Henry will return for an entertaining give and take with the audience to analyze just how the studios market these films to get us off the couch and into a theater seat. The audience will also get their say by voting on which trailers make them the most (or least) excited about the films that are on the way.

The list of trailers to be shown will be posted on line closer to the event date but a few of the many Possible films we to preview include: James Cameron’s Avatar—the maestro of Titanic goes for an action/adventure and sci-fi thriller rolled into one; Sherlock Holmes for a new generation with Robert Downey Jr. as the master sleuth and—are you ready for this?—Jude Law as Dr. Watson. Other previews might include: a new animated version of the Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, where Jim Carrey (or the voice thereof) plays more than one role; New Moon, the latest in the Twilight series; Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) brings us the adaptation of the novel The Lovely Bones and the Disney entry for this season is The Princess and the Frog featuring for the first time an African-American princess.
Then there’s George Clooney, whose vehicles run the gamut from the “psychic spy thriller” The Men Who Stare At Goats to Up In The Air, the story of a corporate downsizer trying to fly his ten millionth mile, to the voice of a fox in Wes Anderson’s animated The Fantastic Mr. Fox. As the trade paper Variety used to say, Clooney equals “boffo box office.”

In a lower key, there is Precious, a sensation at the Cannes Film Festival, which tells the (fictional) story of a 350- pound, illiterate teenage girl who suffers from unspeakable abuse by her family, and the latest from Spain’s Pedro Almodóvar, Broken Embraces.

You get more than admission for your $8: lots of movie promotional items, movie posters, DVDs and raffles for movie tickets throughout the evening. “COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT” is a unique event for folks in D.C. For more information and updates on the trailers to be shown, visit www.dcfilmsociety.org or email info@dcfilmsociety.org.

The Washington, D.C. Film Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to an appreciation of quality mainstream, international and independent films. Annual membership runs from June 1 through May 31 and includes free sneak previews and other events throughout the year. All proceeds from activities support the work of the Film Society and its parent organization, Filmfest DC, the Washington D.C. International Film Festival.
Tickets are available at the door starting at 6pm
